Hu Xiaotian said: "This is how I got the money.↗" He told the story of how he got the money. Although the story was correct, he concealed a lot of the specific amount. The wealth he had worked hard to extort was always
You can't get Qiqi in vain, Dakang's treasury is empty, and the whole country is in a state of extreme lack of money. Who knows that this little girl will not be jealous of money. If someone comes to take advantage of the bad guys, she will be drawing water from a bamboo basket in vain.
Qiqi was not interested in the money and said coldly: "The current situation of Dakang is inextricably linked to this group of officials who harmed the public and enriched themselves. How could they have so much property based on their salaries alone?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Highness means..."
Qiqi said: "Do you want me to kill them all to help you vent your anger?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Xiaotian didn't think about it that way."
Qiqi said: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan. Things have priorities. Under the current situation, maintaining stability is the most important. I will settle these accounts with them in the future."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Princess is really foresighted and strategizing." But he was secretly happy in his heart. He didn't want Qiqi to kill this group of people now. From what happened this time, it can be seen that there is a lot of money to be squeezed out of these officials.
Even if they ransack their homes and exterminated their families, it might not be possible to find out how much property they had hidden. Only a little bit of squeeze can get the maximum benefit.
Qiqi said: "You don't have to give me soup. In fact, you don't want me to kill them now, otherwise you will lose your money in the future." She knew Hu Xiaotian's nature clearly.
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, you have really wronged me. If Xiaotian valued wealth, I would have kept the fifty thousand taels of silver for myself. Why should I offer it to the princess?"
Qiqi said: "I don't know if you had any involvement in it?"
Hu Xiaotian was frightened: "Your Highness, Xiaotian is absolutely loyal to you and full of enthusiasm. I feel so wronged when you speak like this."
Qiqi said: "Why are you nervous? I'm not going to check you out."
"Well……"
Qiqi said: "I didn't ask you to come here to ask about this matter, but I wanted to hand over this place to you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Shence Mansion?"
Qiqi nodded.
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness Princess, it's not like you don't know that it was Hong Beimo's suggestion to ban the Shence Mansion, and the Emperor made the final decision. The matter has only passed not long ago, and you want to rebuild it now. Isn't it tantamount to playing against His Majesty and making me responsible?"
Doesn’t it mean that Hong Beimo and I are openly at odds?”
Qiqi smiled and said, "Don't you dare?"
"Dare! What can't I do for Her Royal Highness?" Hu Xiaotian said resolutely.
Qiqi said: "I'm not asking you to die, so why do you have to act so generously?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not afraid of death, let alone doing things for the princess!"
Qiqi said: "Although there is this plan, it is not carried out publicly. This place is known to the outside world as a place to recruit talents."
Hu Xiaotian said in his heart that you are simply deceiving yourself. How could Hong Beimo's mind be deceived so easily by you? What's more, what you did is clearly worth three hundred taels of silver here. I thought that if you didn't say it was from Shence Mansion, you wouldn't be able to do it.
You know? Little girl films lack experience after all.
Qiqi talked to herself for a while and found that Hu Xiaotian had no response, so she couldn't help but said angrily: "Why don't you speak?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "When the princess is talking, of course it is not convenient for me to interrupt."
"Well, now that I've said so much, it's time for you to express your opinion."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since Her Royal Highness wants to recruit talents and does not want to attract Hong Beimo's attention too early, there is no need to be so high-profile, let alone choose the former site of Shence Mansion. Kangdu is so big. I want to find it.
It’s not easy to find a place suitable for recruiting talents.”
Qiqi blinked: "It makes some sense."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, the key to recruiting talents is not the place, but the funds. A good idea is that there will be brave men under heavy rewards. As long as you are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to recruit a lot of talents."
Qiqi said: "I knew you wanted to blackmail me."
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness has really wronged me and I have a good intention. If I had that idea, would I take the initiative to give you the banknote?"
Qiqi said: "You are so scheming. How could you know that you are not just trying to lure someone away? You could use fifty thousand taels of silver as bait."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not asking you for money. There is something I want to tell you to the princess after much thought. The third prince was responsible for the imperial court's property raids during his lifetime. The accounts I mentioned were all obtained by those officials under his instructions.
The next thing you do."
Qiqi frowned slightly: "You mean, he took the lead in this matter?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Ordinary officials should not be so courageous. The third prince was setting up the Shence Mansion before his death to maintain the operation of such a large organization. It must also require a lot of money. According to my preliminary estimate, the third prince
His Highness must have concealed a large amount of wealth during the search of officials, perhaps as much as half a million gold."
Qiqi's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this number. If she could get this wealth, then it would be easy to set up the Shence Mansion. She whispered: "I just don't know where he will hide the wealth?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "This is not easy. If you want to hide so much gold and silver, the third prince alone cannot do it. There must be other subordinates to help. The most likely place is the prince's residence.
, The second is this Shence Mansion, if we find out those who worked for the third prince in the past and ask, we will definitely be able to find clues."
Qiqi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hu Xiaotian, I will leave this matter to you. I can ask Your Majesty to live in his mansion."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely help you handle this matter properly."
Qiqi added: "Your Majesty was very sad because of my aunt. He cried and fainted several times when he saw my aunt's ashes. He has decided that after my aunt is buried, he will personally go to Tianlong Temple to chant sutras for a month to save her soul.
Also, let’s pay homage to our recently deceased relatives.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Having such a kind and generous majesty is really a blessing to the people."
Qiqi said: "He asked you to take charge of his duty of guarding and protecting Tianlong Temple."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help being shocked when he heard this: "What?" Although Li Yuncong had previously said that he would find an opportunity to accompany the old emperor to Tianlong Temple, he did not expect that Long Xuanen would actually take the initiative to propose it. At this time, something was strange.
The emperor is not familiar with him. Could it be that someone suggested in front of him that he should follow him?
Qiqi noticed something different in his expression and said softly: "What? You don't want to?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "As the deputy commander of the imperial guard, it is my duty and responsibility to protect the emperor. The emperor can think of me, which shows that he trusts and values me. How could Xiaotian be unwilling? He just felt flattered, so he was
I was shocked, I couldn’t believe that such a good thing would happen to me.”
Qiqi chuckled and said, "You've always said what you mean, you don't want to go at all."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's okay to say that I don't want to. If I accompany the emperor to the temple and stay for a whole month, eating fast and chanting Buddha, without even being able to see a friend of the opposite sex, it will be really boring."
Qiqi said: "I don't know why His Majesty called your name, but since he brought it up, I don't have any objections. Moreover, I always feel that the Emperor's visit to Tianlong Temple is not just for chanting sutras and salvation."
."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor trusts you so much, what else can he hide from you?"
Qiqi said: "Originally, this matter was not your turn, but Murong Zhan was injured when he surrounded and annihilated Ji Feihua, and his internal injuries are still unrecovered. The responsibility of protecting the emperor naturally falls on your shoulders, but that's it.
It won’t be over right away, the date for the burial of my aunt’s ashes has not been decided yet, so you can continue to be free and easy these days.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am really with the right person when I am with the princess. The princess is really considerate and caring to me. Xiaotian feels like a spring breeze all day long. Good birds choose trees to roost..."
Qiqi looked at him coldly: "Don't do this with me, you are a bird and I am wood? You think I can't hear you scolding me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not a good thing if your subordinates dare to speak out and have too many selfish ideas."
Qiqi said: "If I don't be careful when dealing with people like you, I'm afraid I might be betrayed by you at any time."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If the princess thinks so, I have nothing to say."
Qiqi said: "Tianlong Temple has always had a close relationship with the royal family. You must protect His Majesty's safety when you follow him this time. You must pay attention to who he comes in contact with."
Hu Xiaotian understood that Qiqi simply wanted him to keep an eye on the old emperor and see what tricks he was playing in Tianlong Temple. It was estimated that this little girl did not trust the old emperor. He whispered: "I completely understand what the princess means. Don't worry, princess."
Yes, my subordinates will definitely do this properly."
Qiqi nodded with satisfaction: "I will do what you just said in your own way. In short, I will give you my full support in recruiting talents, and I will leave the Shence Mansion to your care."
"yes!"
Qiqi turned around and suddenly said: "It's going to rain!"
Hu Xiaotian raised his head and saw the bright sun shining in the sky. He was about to think about how it was possible, but suddenly he remembered that he had given the jade Pixiu to Qiqi. She must have predicted the weather from this. She smiled and said: "Your Highness, please go back early."
Come on, don’t get caught in the rain.”
Qiqi said: "You should leave quickly!"
The two parted ways in front of the door. Not long after Hu Xiaotian left, a heavy downpour fell from the sky. This guy didn't take a car today and came to the appointment alone. He and Xiao Hui were soaked to the core. It seems now
The jasper Pixiu is still of great use. Although the colorful dragon gold medal looks majestic, it has only a symbolic meaning and has no practical value at all.
Back at the Hu Mansion, Hu Xiaotian handed Xiao Hui over to Hoover to take care of him, and ran back to the yard where he lived like a drowned rat. He saw that Huo Shengnan and Liang Dazhuang had just come back, and both of them were soaked to the skin. Liang Dazhuang didn't care.
Get on top of yourself and hurriedly ran to Hu Xiaotian to show your courtesy: "Master, why are you soaked all over? I'm going to have someone prepare hot water for you to bathe. Don't catch a cold." (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature and Novels.
